Techno celebrates 15th anniversary

How parents feed, educate, raise and protect their children is something worthwhile for us to understand in managing an organization from its inception to growth. Like children trust their parents, members of an organization trust the top management. The reciprocal faith is an essential ingredient in the journey towards success be it a family or an enterprise said Dinu Dehigama addressing the staff of Epic Lanka.

A versatile speaker and the past Chairperson of COYLE Ladies Chapter, she also emphasized the commitment and sacrifices parents make in bringing up their children, which is similar to the demands of an organization from its core management team. Creating a conducive environment to enable learning to happen is important at home and it is the case for an organization too especially in knowledge based industries she said. Like children follow their parents, employees follow their managers… and therefore, it is quite important that managers set examples through continuous learning and exemplary behavior in managing an organization she added.

“I see lots of similarities between parenting and managing an organization as both involve taking a family through various stages, carefully and affectionately, in the growth process where competence and commitment of the heads or leaders make a big difference at the end. This helps families as well as organizations to be outstanding among the ordinary” she concluded.

Dinu Dehigama made these comments at a function held at Epic Techno-Village to mark the 15th anniversary of Epic Lanka recently. Epic Lanka, the award winning software firm regionally renowned for innovative solutions celebrates the success of 15 years of innovations during this month.
